      They’re trying to provoke a reaction that they can sell to their media-fueled-paranoid Christonationalists to drive them to the polls.

      It’s a Texas owned park. The Feds are claiming it for a processing area.

      That’s where Texas appears to be staking their claim: it’s ours and you can’t take it under the Constitution.

      Everything else is people on both sides dreaming up fantasy scenarios with little basis in what’s likely. Yes, Texas will continue to escalate, but they aren’t going to try to secede.

      From the article:

      "On Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton refused the federal government’s request for access to the border and demanded proof that the federal government has the authority to turn a Texas park into a port of entry. "

      I know Texas is picking and choosing the framing, but the above is what the AG (corrupt as he may be) is saying. Because he needs to win a case.
